Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 2088: Chapter 1169: The Source of the Curse

Upon hearing the voice, the brows of Leo Ray and his two companions furrowed involuntarily, while Mr. Wilson and Yoyo instinctively stepped forward to shield the former.

However, Leo Ray gestured slightly with his hand and continued to listen intently.

“Lord, although I have been trapped here all along, I know that this name has caused trouble for many and has even taken many lives. If given the chance, I would want to personally deal with that despicable fellow, but unfortunately, that guy is too powerful.”

Little Jie’s starry eyes dimmed as she shook her head helplessly and said, “But please trust me, Master was not like this initially. Unfortunately, he was ultimately consumed by desire and ignorance, and his life’s essence had long withered away. Now there is only an evil life’s essence of unknown origin in his body.”

“Little Jie, do you mean that someone has taken over the body of Gannon the Ninth, and the original Gannon the Ninth actually perished long ago?”

Leo Ray was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood the meaning of “Master is not the Master” from the other’s words.

“Yes, the incident happened a century ago, as for the specifics, I am not clear.”

Little Jie lowered her gaze, sighed lightly, and said, “But it can be confirmed that when the Master who disappeared for a month reappeared, I already felt that he was no longer my Master.”

“In this way, everything indeed makes sense.”

Mr. Wilson pondered for a moment, then bowed to Leo Ray and said, “Lord, we Stone Spirits, when signing a contract or passing on a legacy, are entirely bound to the Master’s inner and outer self, both are indispensable.”

“If the Master undergoes changes such as being mentally manipulated, leading to internal changes, we will naturally detect it immediately and will not go along with it.”

“And the situation with Gannon the Ninth was quite similar. The extinguishment of his life’s essence is equivalent to the internal being completely replaced, naturally losing the authority for us to continue fulfilling the contract.”

“However, since his external body still exists, the contract has not been completely dissolved.”

Mr. Wilson’s voice was full of gravity as he concluded, “I’m afraid the one who replaced Gannon the Ninth relied on this imperfect contract as the basis to further apply the control curse.”

Mr. Wilson finished speaking, and Yoyo also nodded, evidently agreeing with the former’s view.

“What the senior said is right. This is the direct reason why I found it difficult to break free from the constraints, and it is precisely because I was not truly attached to that guy that I was often beaten and scolded by those Black-robed Persons.”

Little Jie wiped away a tear from her eye and said softly, “I’m sorry, Lord. I am a crybaby, please forgive me.”

“It’s nothing. Your strength and resilience have long earned my respect.”

Leo Ray casually patted her head, and his expression soon turned serious again.

By now, everything was very clear.

A century ago, the reason Gannon the Ninth suddenly changed his temperament, inexplicably sealed off the Holy City, and hardly appeared since, was because he had been silently replaced by then.

“By saying so, the mysterious mastermind who controlled the Temple of Light, the leading neutral organization of the Human Clan for a century, is no longer the original Leader, but an unknown strange entity? It’s indeed terrifying to think about it deeply.”

Leo Ray furrowed his brows and slowly took a deep breath.

If he had already grasped such unbelievable news and informed the other two major neutral organizations, the Alchemist Guild and the Mercenary Guild, he might have garnered more assistance, right?

“No, even if I had learned about this information earlier, I’m afraid no one would have believed it if I spoke out?”

Leo Ray frowned even more tightly and sighed again in his heart.

If not for the mutual sensing ability among Stone Spirits to detect each other’s emotional fluctuations and use that to judge if the other was lying, he himself would find it hard to believe such an unbelievable matter for a while.

After all, any leader of a neutral organization is not only incredibly powerful, almost a child of destiny, but also backed by the entire organization’s foundation as a trump card, surrounded by countless top-notch powerhouses.

In such circumstances, for someone to be silently replaced internally without anyone knowing, is indeed unimaginable.

“Initially, I just thought Gannon the Ninth was merely a ruthless madman, but now, clearly, he is much more unfathomable than I imagined.”

“However, in this way, everything has become quite logical.”

Thinking of this, Leo Ray looked again at the despondent and frail Stone Spirit, inquiring, “Little Jie, do you know the true identity of that entity?”

“In response, Lord, I do not know; I only know that the entity is extremely frightening, making it impossible for me to resist.”

Little Jie’s frail body began to tremble slightly again as she responded, “Until the appearance of the Lord, I felt the familiar Power of Divine Grace from the Lord, making me feel like a spring breeze and finally seeing a long-lost ray of hope.”

“Under the Lord’s influence, I mustered the courage to try my best to resist the erosion of the curse, and in the end, with the Lord’s help, I broke free from the shackles of the curse.”

At the end of the sentence, Little Jie fearfully knelt down, repeatedly bowing deeply to Leo Ray, saying, “I almost hurt the Lord just now, I apologize and plead for the Lord’s forgiveness so that I don’t lose myself.”
